First Heartworm Vacc For Our Pups

[Guest Tess32]

i have 2 young pups at the moment (14 weeks atm) and my vet suggested not giving them the annual heartworm vacc until they are six months old. My 3 other older dogs are all on the annual heart worm vacc and have been for a number of years without much problem, other than a bit of soreness at the vacc site for a few days afterward. My puppies are on Advocate at the moment and I'm wondering if i should change all my dogs to Advocate and scrap the vacc after reading this post. Whats so wrong with the Vacc????????

The vaccination has been known to cause significant health problems including seizures, NOT always after one shot, could be cumulative effect. Problems were compounded by vets giving the vacc with the yearly C5s at the same time.

So yes, I would scrap the vaccination, is it really even worth the risk when there are other alternatives?

Thanks Tess, mine always have the c5 and heartworm at the same time once a year. I am defiantly going to talk to my vet now and think i will be changing all mine to advocate.
